Implementation of an ERP system including a production module and machine connectivity

Challenge

Aixscale Photonics, an innovative company in the field of photonics, had until then relied on Excel-based processes to manage manufacturing, warehousing and logistics.

With a new production operation being built up and project execution growing ever more complex, the company needed a central, scalable solution that maps and optimizes the entire value chain – from development through to manufacturing – efficiently.

Solution

Enko Software GmbH rolled out Microsoft Dynamics Business Central as an end-to-end ERP system at aiXscale Photonics. The solution was tailored specifically to the requirements of the industry and to the company's development and production processes.

The ERP system comprises a production module, machine connectivity via a message bus and the integration of suppliers and service providers. The software maps every area – manufacturing, warehousing, logistics and shop-floor data collection (BDE) – on a single central platform.

Results

The ERP rollout enabled Aixscale Photonics to make considerable progress:

  • A completely new production operation that is efficient and scalable
  • Support for the development process, through close integration of development and manufacturing
  • Streamlined project execution, with seamless transparency and control across every project phase

Features and benefits of the solution

Production Module for the Entire Operation

The ERP system maps and controls the production processes end to end – from planning through to execution.

Production planning

Efficient planning tools improve the use of resources and shorten lead times.

Machine Connectivity via a Message Bus

A purpose-built message bus enables seamless integration and communication between the machines and the ERP system.

Connecting External Suppliers and Service Providers

External partners are built directly into the processes, which ensures smooth collaboration and full transparency.

Warehousing and Logistics Solutions

Central inventory management and optimized logistics processes deliver measurable efficiency gains.

Support for the Development Process

Closely linked development and manufacturing data make innovative projects easier to deliver.

Streamlined Project Execution

Automated processes and real-time data allow projects to be planned and monitored far more efficiently.

Conclusion

By rolling out Microsoft Dynamics Business Central, Aixscale Photonics has laid the foundation for efficient, innovative and scalable production.

The comprehensive integration of machines, suppliers and logistics processes allows the company to master the challenges of a fast-moving industry.
